The Science of Sleep

Perhaps the strangest thing in this film–which is no stranger than reality, really–is the short that is included on the DVD about kitty adoption.

I’m a huge fan of Gondry’s work. This film didn’t get the reviews that Spotless Mind did, and I like the former film a bit better, largely because Stephane turns so completely mushy, and his sympathy-o-meter drops steadily as the film progresses. Still, it is a good film, and worth watching at least twice because the man is simply so inventive. If anyone else is doing anything nearly as interesting with visual metaphor, let me know.

Go ahead, be generous. Share!
